Remember Michael the Black Man? He's the guy with the colorful past who interrupted a campaign appearance by Barack Obama two years ago on the UM campus by leading a group of people holding up signs that said, "Black Against Obama" and "Obama Endorsed by the KKK." Yeah, how could you forget.

He has a pad in North Miami Beach with a 65-foot yacht outside. Friday night, two teenagers who were out a nearby party decided to swim across a canal to jump off the boat. Michael Blackaman, aka Maurice Woodside, grabbed a gun, shot at the two twice to spook them off and called 911.

He's 22 year-old-son, Jeremiah Parham, didn't think that was enough. So he grabbed an AK-47 and sprayed the canal with bullets until the two teens swam to the other side. He's now being charged with aggravated assault. [NBCMiami]
